Rahal Letterman enters Aston Martin in Mid-Ohio Speed GT race

Aston Martin's DB9 will return to SCCA Speed World Challenge GT competition this weekend at Mid-Ohio.

Rahal Letterman Racing acquired the car, owned previously by Aston Martin North America board chairman John Sinders and raced by Autosport Designs Racing in the 2006 Speed GT Championship. Rahal Letterman reengineered the DB9, which will be driven by Tommy Milner, 22.

"We are excited about getting the Aston on track and seeing the final product after what was a long and interesting process of rebuilding the car," team co-owner Bobby Rahal said. "Tom Milner is a good driver and we are anticipating a great effort from him. It will be great to get such a historic marque like Aston battling for a win at Mid-Ohio."

So far, the team only plans to enter the Mid-Ohio round. The Aston's last Speed GT race was in 2006 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, where Johnny Mowlem and Tom Papadopoulos drove a pair of cars for Autosport Designs.
